BEAR CLAW® - HIDDEN FASTENER SYSTEM
Structural Performance
The Bear Claw® is engineered to accommodate facade panels generally 8-13 mm
in thickness and up to 35 kg/m2. When used in conjunction with SYSTEM2, vertical framing members are required.
The vertical framing members are attached back to horizontal framing members. The horizontal framing member attaches to the TcLip™ S2 and can be adjusted to plumb out the structure. The spacing of the horizontal framing is adjustable to suit the design loads imposed on the system.
Key Benefits:
- Streamlined, clean look - no visible fasteners
- Thin (6-8mm) panels to avoid cost
- Facilitate offsite construction - lowering costs
